I wanted to use AI inside Slack at my company and for my robotics club, but adding AI bots and configuring them turned into a whole project. They often spammed channels or failed to respond intelligently.Slack didn’t have AI at the time, and what they’ve since launched feels underwhelming.So for the past two months I’ve been building Basecase, an AI native workspace where agents join team...
Well, Now We Have The Solution.
Let's contract everything out. We are already contracting out hardware and game development.
By contracting out the hardware, Engineering Management finally has the control it wants over costs, technology, and schedule. Of course, the hardware may need a few finishing touches for Testability and Manufacture- ability, but the Engineers will be happy to finish someone else's hardware, put it into production, and thereby contribute to this someone else's royalties. This has the added advantage that licensed product is not eligible for Bonus.
By contracting out the game development, and making Marketing the main contact, Marketing can finally enforce their decisions on game play. (Do It My Way If You Want To Get Paid.) Perhaps they can do for game play what they did for Side Panel Graphics.
I don't think we should stop there.
Let's contract out Sound and Music so that the team (which is now Marketing) will get what it wants. Dittos for I.D., Mechanical, Harness, PCB, Publications, and Animation. Did I leave anyone out?
Let's contract out Manufacturing to eliminate overhead (and unused Production Capacity). Or, we could deal with unused Production Capacity by having Manufacturing become a Contract Manufacturer for other companies. (Outside contracts always have priority over internal product, so internal product will have to be contracted out, anyway.)
Finally, after having completed the total disintegration of the Company, we can contract out Management.

I am looking for some unconventional and innovative ideas for learning German language. I know there can't be better place then HN to ask this question.Why unconventional because I think my language part of brain is not normal or so. So in school they tried to teach me English grammar for 10 years but still I do not remember any grammatical rule. By accident I learned(sort of) English while...

Google Tech Talks February 17, 2009ABSTRACTWhen I first visited the Palestinian territories, I was afraid I would have to hide my identity as an American and possibly wear a headscarf. To my surprise, I was warmly welcomed exactly as I was, and after more than two years living and working there, it remains one of my favorite spots on earth. The people are charming and generous, the landscape is...
